Argentina great Diego Maradona said FIFA should make sure Sepp
Blatter and Michel Platini get life imprisonment instead of six-year
bans from football for ethics violations. He said FIFA ethics committee
went wrong in not punishing them severely despite having evidences of
wrongdoing.

Infantino entered the FIFA race in late October, one day before the deadline, as a stop-gap candidate after Platini had been placed under investigation
for ethics violations. When Platini failed to clear his name and was banned from football for
six years, Infantino was left carrying the hopes of European football.

Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini, once the two most powerful men in world football, had their bans for ethics violations upheld,
although they were reduced from eight years to six. The pair will now turn to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for
the last chance to restore their reputations and roles in the game.

FIFA has fired Jerome Valcke for the second time, cutting ties with the
secretary general four months after he was suspended while under
investigation for wrongdoing at the scandal-scarred governing body.
